Got a lot of snow today in Kent, England. First lot like this in 7 years. My mate Robin (and all wildlife) was finding hard to get food. I filled all our bird feeders up, and some. This Robin still prefers to take food out my hand though

I first put my feeders up in November. The already resident sparrows, starlings, blue tits and even wood pigeons took advantage, but it took until last week for them to attract a new species into my garden when 2 or 3 goldfinches suddenly turned up.

Wanted to get some pictures of them but despite it being a murky one this morning and my windows being a bit mucky I took my chance this morning - hopefully I will get the chance to get some better ones in future if they keep coming.

Didn't have the nyjer seeds up until they came, I put them up a couple of days ago but they seem to appreciate them.

We had an unusual visitor during the snow - a Woodcock. Definitely a first for us. It was looking for food in the undergrowth for a couple of minutes, then flew off. I managed to put my camera together and got this

@JayJay nice photos there. Down my way we have about 6 collared doves that visit the garden. However, there is one that is an absolute bully. Have you observed any such behaviour with the ones that visit your place?
